CHECK YOUR VENT SYSTEM FOR GOOD AIR FLOW

Good air ﬂow

Along with heat, dryers require good air ﬂow to efﬁciently

dry laundry. Proper venting will reduce your drying times and

improve your energy savings. See Installation Instructions.

The venting system attached to the dryer plays a big role

in good air ﬂow. Blocked or crushed vents as well as improper

venting installation will reduce air ﬂow and dryer performance.

Service calls caused by improper venting are not covered by

the warranty and will be paid by the customer, regardless of

who installed the dryer. To clean or repair venting, contact a

venting specialist.

Maintain good air ﬂow by:

n Cleaning your lint screen before each load.

n Replace plastic or foil vent material

with 4" (102 mm) diameter heavy, rigid

vent material.

Good Better

n Use the shortest length of vent possible.

n Use no more than four 90° elbows in a vent system;

each bend and curve reduces air ﬂow.

n Remove lint and debris from the exhaust hood.

n Remove lint from the entire length of the vent system

at least every 2 years. When cleaning is complete, be

sure to follow the Installation Instructions supplied with

your dryer for ﬁnal product check.

n Clear away items from the front of the dryer.

Energy Saver

Touch to activate the Energy Saver option, which allows you to increase your energy savings by using a slightly lower heat level. For

automatic cycles, Energy Saver will increase drying times by approximately 40 minutes; the LED Display will reﬂect this time.

Energy Saver will default on for Normal. For optimal energy, turn on the Energy Saver option. For optimal time, turn off the Energy

Saver option.

NOTE: Energy savings may vary across loads and cycles.

Tips for getting the best performance from your steam dryer

n Results may vary depending on fabric. 100% cotton garments

with wrinkle-free ﬁnish may yield better results than those

without. 100% cotton items may require additional touching up

after cycles that use steam.

n Use of fabric softener sheet is not recommended with cycles

that use steam. It may cause temporary staining on clothes.

n Cycles that use steam are not recommended for items that

have been starched. Wash any starched or new garments prior

to using cycles that use steam.

n The Steam Refresh cycle is best for reducing light wrinkles

from loads left in the dryer too long.

Use Sensor cycles for better fabric care and energy savings

Use the Sensor Cycles to provide the most energy savings and enhanced fabric care from the dryer. During Sensor Cycles, drying air

temperature and moisture level are sensed in the load. This sensing occurs throughout the drying cycle and the dryer shuts off when the

load reaches the selected dryness. Use the NORMAL dryness level to provide optimal energy savings.

With Timed Dry, the dryer runs the amount of time set and sometimes results in shrinkage, wrinkling, and static due to over-drying. Use

Timed Dry for the occasional damp load that needs a little more drying time or when using the drying rack.

CONTROL PANEL AND FEATURES

Not all features and cycles are available on all models.

POWER

most, 3 of available temperatures (not including Air Only)

are allowed.

Dry Level

You may adjust the Dry Level on Sensor Cycles (except

for the Sanitize cycle), if desired.

NOTE: Dryness level is for use with Sensor Cycles only.

Wrinkle Prevent

If you will be unable to remove a load immediately, touch

Wrinkle Prevent to add up to 150 minutes of periodic

tumbling to help reduce wrinkling. On some cycles, you

may select the “With Steam” setting to add a short steam

cycle after 60 minutes to help smooth out wrinkles.

NOTE: If you open the dryer door prior to the end of the

Wrinkle Prevent, the dryer will go into Pause mode. You

will need to touch Power to turn off or touch Start/Pause

to continue Wrinkle Prevent.

NOTE: The control panel features a sensitive surface that responds to a light touch of your ﬁnger. To ensure your selections are registered,

touch the control panel with your ﬁnger tip, not your ﬁngernail. When selecting a setting or option, simply touch its name.
